Su Shu, lying on the hospital bed, had his eyelids trembling slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

However, as his vision gradually became clear, the chaotic and blurred dream images in his mind came flooding back like a tide.

The scenes in the dream connected everything together, and were so real that Su Shu was unable to tell for a moment whether they were illusions or reality.

What made him even more confused and shocked was that the face that appeared in his dream actually overlapped with Gu Yunzhe's face!

This sudden shock made Su Shu's thinking become chaotic, and he was completely lost in confusion and trance.

Su Shu felt as if he was in a strange and weird world, where everything was familiar yet strange.

The self that was originally clearly identifiable seemed to gradually become blurred and was swallowed up by an inexplicable force.

He tried to understand it all, but the thoughts in his mind were tangled like a tangled mess, leaving him with no idea where to start.

"You're awake..." A gentle and concerned greeting came from the bedside.

Su Shu looked towards the voice and saw a young woman dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a pretty face and elegant temperament.

Her deep and charming eyes were staring at Su Shu who had just woken up, revealing endless tenderness and care.

Seeing that Su Shu did not answer her question immediately, the beautiful young woman frowned slightly, but soon returned to her original gentle smile.

And asked softly: "I am Gu Yunzhe's mother "Shen Ruoling".

Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere? If so, please tell your aunt, okay? "

After saying that, she gently reached out and stroked Su Shu's pale cheek, as if she wanted to give him some strength and comfort in this way.

Su Shu turned his head and said in a low voice: "Where's my mother?"

Shen Ruoling: "I'm sorry, Xiaozhe didn't dare to notify your mother to come over, so I came here."

Su Shu: "What about the others?"

Shen Ruoling: "Standing outside!"

Su Shu forced a smile, as if the air was filled with a bitter taste.

Su Shu: "Does he have mania?"

Shen Ruoling sighed and said, "Yes, this story starts when he was 8 years old."

"My husband, Gu Chengzhou, is Azhe's father. His family is in the business world, mainly in real estate. I'm sure you know that.

Many people think that our Shen family is also in the business world and can only be considered upper-middle class in the circle.

But in fact, our Shen family’s ancestors had a gang background, which was gradually whitewashed and nowadays they are all in the military and political background.

I am the only daughter in my generation and I have been in poor health since childhood. How could such a huge family fortune be left to a woman like me?

It wasn't until I met Gu Chengzhou that we got together. My father admired him very much and agreed to make him his son-in-law.

I handed over the Shen family's business and network of relationships to A Zhou, and I assisted him as I had always been in poor health.

In just a few years, A Zhou quickly expanded the business empire of our Shen and Gu families countless times, not to mention some business empires under the dark web.

As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. The company developed too fast and offended many people, including mercenaries, drug dealers, desperadoes, people from both the black and white worlds, and all kinds of people.

When they couldn't find a chance to take revenge on us, they thought of our children.

Can you imagine that Gu Yunzhe was kidnapped when he was 8 years old?

An 8-year-old child was taken to a place like the underground black market in Myanmar by his enemies who were determined to kill him.

What did he see and how did he break free from them? Later, he hid in a small black box and waited for us for 5 days before we found him and rescued him.

When we asked him after he came back, he said nothing, but his mental state had been unstable since the beginning.

There are sudden bouts of outbursts of temper and loss of control, bipolar disorder, and mania.

So the older he gets, the more domineering he becomes, and he becomes unruly and difficult to tame. But the people who have gotten into trouble have always been marginal figures, so we just deal with them and don't take it too seriously.

I was quite surprised when he suddenly called me that day and said he had someone he liked.

Later, I prepared a gift and said I would go to your house, but you confiscated it and gave him a couple necklace instead.

When he video-called me that day, he kept talking to me about every little thing he did with you.

I can see that this child really likes you with all his heart and eyes.

I really didn't expect his illness to be like this. I'm sorry, auntie, for hurting you.

I tell you these past events in the hope that you can understand them better.

This child has been having it easy since he was young, and has never cared about others. It's all because we, as parents, have failed to supervise him well.

But he is not a bad person by nature, and I believe you have seen some changes in him during your time together.

But ultimately, you have no responsibility or obligation to accompany him as he grows up and wait for him to mature.

Love is something that is destined. No matter what you choose, we elders will respect you. Don't be afraid, okay?"

Su Shu forced a smile and said weakly, "Thank you, Auntie. I'm fine now. You can go back and have a rest. I'll think about it myself."

Shen Ruoling looked at Su Shu, who was clearly ordering her to leave, and sighed, "Then I'll leave first. You should have a good rest."

"Ok!"

After Shen Ruoling left, Su Shu called the system in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"System, system, are you here?"

【Host, I am here. 】

"What was the scene in my previous dream?"

[Uh, that, maybe it was just a dream! ]

"Then why, when I resisted Gu Yunzhe so much that time, you and the voice in the void said the same thing, telling me not to resist?

Why does your magic power become completely ineffective when it comes into contact with Gu Yunzhe?

Why do you say that he has a boundary of space power barrier similar to that of the Lord God?

Why does the face in my dream coincide with Gu Yunzhe’s? Why do I have a sense of fate that is both familiar and strange?

What are you hiding from me?"

[Ahem! Host, please stop asking. There are some things I cannot tell you right now.]

[Only when you successfully complete the mission in this world will all mysteries be solved, and then everything will come to light.]

[I can only tell you that all of this is a meaningful arrangement. Concentrate on completing the task. I believe the final answer will satisfy you, host! ]

"Just answer me "Gu Yunzhe", can I avoid it?"

After a breathtaking silence, the system seemed to have thought for a long time, and finally slowly gave Su Shu the answer: "Yes, there have been countless entanglements in your destiny."

This affirmative word was like a thunderclap, exploding in Su Shu's mind, connecting all the messy images in his empty space.

He slowly closed his eyes, thinking to himself, since this is the case, I already know the beginning of things, I can't avoid it, so just let it go!
